Non-tenured professors, post-doctoral researchers, and advanced graduate students from around the world are welcome to apply to the program which will allow them to collaborate on research at CGCS and participate in the intellectual life of the Annenberg School. Scholars are expected to engage with Annenberg faculty and students, attend events and colloquia at the Annenberg School, present their research at a seminar, and produce a short research paper as a result of their stay. Applicants will be judged based on the quality of their research and relevance to CGCS research programs. Priority will be given to applicants from outside of the United States.
